Sanctification is not an everyday word. In fact, it's an idea that has little value in our me-focused, instant gratification world. Yet despite trends, culture, or opinion, being sanctified - being set apart from the world - remains a vital part of our journey with Christ. But what does it look like? How do we begin? And is it even possible to live a life pleasing to God. Only God's creative power can explain the re-creation of people who once lived according to the flesh into people who now live for Christ.

We all know that creation is groaning and that we ourselves groan in a broken world. But did you know that the Spirit of God groans for us as He prays on our behalf to the Father?

In this message of our Promises series, we will see what Jesus means by ask, seek, knock. We will see that it is not trying to twist God’s arm to get what we want. Instead, it is an invitation to a closer walk with our Father in heaven. It means keeping in close communion with the Father, knowing His will, & asking Him to perform His will. This “seek and you will find me” promise is an invitation to a relationship.

We are being promised all sorts of things every day – and so it is not surprising that we have developed a healthy dose of skepticism as we continue to see promises unfulfilled and hearts broken in all areas of life. But God has proved himself trustworthy as he makes promises he keeps. In this message, Pastor John helps us look at two of those promises from God, possibly the hardest promise in the Bible as well as the greatest promise in the Bible, as we continue our summer series, Promises.

This world is always quick to give us promises, and usually there's a catch. But what this world is not as quick to give us is a no-strings-attached guarantee behind those promises. And yet, it's precisely these kinds of promises we're thrilled to explore in our brand new series "Promises".

How can we trust God and His promises? Pastors Bill and Ray discuss Genesis 12 and what they've learned about trusting and following God through defining moments in their own lives in this final conversation of our Origins series.

If you're reading this, you've surely felt the profound sting of a broken promise, and know about the consuming head storm that can follow - especially when it was someone close. Pastor Bill talks us through the one place where we will never experience this as we conclude our Origins series.

What's the link between language and culture? And how can we love one another better by understanding the two? Pastor Ray and Bart discuss the implications of Genesis 11 and the story of the Tower of Babel.

When we read the Bible, it's like a mirror to our souls. This is perhaps no better illustrated than when a group of people decided they wanted to make a name for themselves instead of God, and build a kingdom in the spirit of that fame. The good news is, reading the Bible is also a light in the darkness that leads us to Jesus.

The story of Noah and the flood is one of the most complex stories in the Bible. Pastors Ray and Bill dive deep into Genesis 6-9.
